I can honestly say that in my opinion this board proves that Brighton fans are a cut above the rest when it comes to music. NMH, The Auditor, TLO, Hiney, El Pres, HKFC, Jam The Man, Kylie Stunt Arse, DTG, Tooting Gull, Chez, Trufflehound and all the rest of you who have eclectic and encyclopaedic music tastes here, take a bow.

I thought I knew a fair bit about music but am amazed how much I've learnt whilst on here.

pip pip!

 

[NMH]

Mustn't forget 'Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call' and 'New Gold Dream' albums - The Simple Minds before they got U2/Alarm/Big Country dramatic.

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

What was the name of that punk clothes shop near Brighton Technical College I remeber buying a pair of black and white cheque trousers from there and wearing them with a white grandad shirt and faux swede waistcoat.....how cool was I

I'm still grappling with the image of that faux swede waistcoat. Presumably the trousers had turnips?

 

[Box of Frogs]

Snowflakes Are Dancing. Tomita.

OMG - somebody else that remembers Tomita! Is that the album with Bolero on it?

Are Friends Electric - Gary Numan

I've just read his autobiography and am seeing him in concert on March 9th. Saw Thomas Dolby just before Xmas, it was part gig, part computer demonstration.

Anyone remember ZERRA I??

Thomas Dolby did the ultimate cool thing and was in Bowies band for Live Aid

[El Presidente]

March 12th here in Brighton, El Pres. He's doing the Replicas album.

[The Auditor]

Talk Talk
The Assembly
Erasure ? Vince Clarke & Andy Bell?

 

[Buzzer]

NMH - that Ying and Yang Youtube video - is that Dr Robert from the Blow Monkeys playing drums?

 

[Buzzer]

Brighton's very own Frazier Chorus

[yt]GieeErXHsz0&NR=1[/yt]

Can't find a video of sloppy heart, sorry. It'd got one of my favourite lines too: "they say that money talks. It's true. Mine just said goodbye"

 

[McCririck]

Gary Numan - Telekon, amazing album

Roll on the 12th.

Associates, Party Fears 2, Club Country

 

[Barrow Boy]

Go West, saw them live at the Brighton Centre back in 1988, brilliant.

Erasure, best live show I've ever seen, Brighton Centre 1989 (I think!)

 

[Stinky Kat]

Anyone remember Expandis, two piece from eastbourne/hastings - they released a cassette called Im not waving Im drowning which was great, they were good live too
